She has studied in the Amenti Mystery School with Robert Waterman, EdD, LPCC. She also studied and practiced indigenous healing rituals and was initiated in intensive Shamanic healing rites of the Q’uero Paqos in the high Andes studying with renowned indigenous healers. Patricia is a a telehealth therapist working in Southern, Colorado. She and her spouse live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Patricia’s visionary work derives its inspiration from mystical experience, archetypal imagery from multi-cultural spiritual references, and the life and death struggle within the natural world. She is most interested in the fluidity of time, using post-modern structure to fragment the narration, in order to challenge one’s concept that time is linear. Her recent body of work includes a poetry collection—Up From Small & Dialogues with Georgia O’Keeffe, and In the Dark Light of Angels, a dark coming of age novel. She is currently completing three novels in a Sci-Fi Fantasy trilogy Wonderworld, and is seeking representation.

Patricia’s work is a prayer—a secular and spiritual teasing toward enlightenment.
